Syn Free Chicken & Bacon Dirty Rice Recipe

For a long time now I have wanted to have a go at making 'Dirty Rice'. This is a traditional Cajun and Creole dish made from white rice which gets a "dirty" color from being cooked with the flavours and meat. Traditionally it can be made with livers or minced meat, but I really fancied chicken and bacon at the time of creating this! I packed it with plenty of speed foods like peppers and onion.

I was amazed how well this came out, and it will become a new favorite of mine. I also ate some cold the next day, and it was delicious for lunch.
